POWDER SPRINGS.

1t is hoped that our young friend, Will
lie Upshaw, is slowly but gradually recover
ing from the sad misfortune that befell him
nearly two years ago The meek submits
sion and calm resignation with which he
has borne his affection will be an enduring
lustrates his Christian character and his
trust in God have no doubt that had he
not been visited by this stroke of evil for
tune, he would have been an exponent Of
all the virtues of true Christian manhood
and would have illustrated his country both
in church and state. 1t is sad to see
bright intellect just rising into the firma,
ment of mind and thought, have its lustre
dimmed by such calamity But we all
trust and pray that he may speedily recov-
err and be himself again. MORE ANON

pointment at this place on Saturday and
Sunday last, preaching, especially on Sun

We think Powder Springs is certainly
blessed with preachers and teachers this
year. At the NJ L. Church we have Rev.
N. 4. Glenn, gentleman of deep piety and
high education and who HIS llado fine
impression upon his people; at the Baptist
church. Rev. J. NJ Robertson, D. d., editor
Of the Baptist Reflector of Chattanooga,
Tenn, who is considered one of the ablest
preachers OF his and adjoining states. At
the academy we have as principal, that tai
ented gentleman Prof J. G. Camp, than
whom, we candidly believe, few if any better
whom we feel justly proud as his assistant,
Rev A. j. Morgan, who is greatly loved by
our people Surely, with these leaders and
the Psyche Club as supplement, We may
confidently hope for a year Of high literary
culture aud spiritual growth.

The "ReforM" Meeting

The meeting of the reform democrats
at Oratorio Hall, in Baltimore city, on
Wednesday of last week, having been ad-
journed to the same day as the meeting of
'the farmers convention" was pretty fully
attended by members of the latter body.
Speeches were made by ex Gove;Hor Ham
iton, Mr.. Joha X. Cowen. the counsel for
the B. & o. railroad, and by Mr.. James L.
Dennis, the chairman of the meeting
Nothing especially new was developed at
the meeting Gov. Hamito went over
his same old thread-bare dissertation
about the sinking funds" and amplitied
to some extent on Mr.. Clevelands sphor-
ism that public office is public trust "
Mr.. Cowen DEVOTED himself exclusively 10
the local affairs of Baltimore city and to
personal attacks upon Mr.. Bernard Carter
and other prominent Baltimore city Dem
ocra's s, in the course Of which he asserted
that Baltimore city is ruled by the 'crimi-
nal classes" The Sun, 10 Its leading edi-
torial of Thursday, sharply controverts the
remarks of Mr.. Cowen. 1t is probable
that Mr. Cowen viewed the matter through
his corporate spectscles, and, like the Ro-
mans of old, who denominated all other
nations than themselves "barbarians," be
seems to regard all classes outside Of the
retinue of the B. & o. as criminal classes =
The meeting adopted long address to
the Democratic voters of Maryland" made
up of irrelevant platitudes and adjoured
Altogether the Performers" do not sp.
pear to have created much a commotion
of the political elements. Senator Wilson
who was interviewed at Washington, said
he did not see that anything new had beer
developed. Most Of the farmers and other
prominent citizens who we're present have
been at some pains to explain that they
were merely there as spectators. The gen
eral opinion seems to be that the reform
ers" have convinced everybody else, if not
themselves, that there is nothing at pres
ent IN the State Democracy that needs te
be reformed.
